TIE proposition that the Boards of Supervisors of the various coun- ties should pay the Judges of their judicial districts q sum in addition to the salary paid by the govern ment is meeting with favor in several counties of the Territory, and the Supervisors in several in stances have voted sums ranging as high as $500 per year. It is no more than right that the judges should receive extra compensation, inasmuch as the law under which they are paid by the government did not contemplate their holding court in more than one place in each district, and consequently, now that they hold sessions in each county comprising their dis trict, the necessary travelling ex- penses have to come out of their own pockets.
 It is suggested that Graham county take some action in the matter. The volume of judicial business in our county is too small to be worth as much as is paid in some others, and we would suggest as a fair methsd that our

4 report is current throughout the Territory that suspicion has long pointed to Indian settlers on the San Pedro Reservation as be- ing abettors of the San Carlos ren- egades, and this fact seems now to be established. The former have kept the hostiles informed as to tho movements of the troops and have also furnished them with horses to aid them in escaping pursuit, and this being true ac- counts for the rapid movements of the hostiles, they receiving ammu- milton and horses from these sup posed friendly Indians. If the above can be established as fact there should be some action taken which would result in a clearing out of these settlers. They are no less guilty than tho active perpe- trators and should be treated ac- cordingly.

INDIAN news the past week has not been very reliable. but from the best reports 1t would appear that the renegades are trying to work their way back to the reser- vstion. A week ego Sunday one of Charoleau's vaqueros was killed in the Canyon del Gro. and on Monday night they got away with one of Brewster Cameron's herders at the San Rafael ranch. It is said that freighters running to and from San Carlos report the reser- walton Indians more impudent than ever before, which indicates that they would like to provoke 8 quarrel as an excuse to leavo the reservation.

THE St. Louis Globe Democrat has very clear idea of Indian af- fairs in this Territory when il says, relative to the present troubles: "There IS no special pro vocation in the case. It is simply a repetition of the old story of In dian treachery and deviltry which has cost so many lives of frontier settlers during the last thirty years. Fortunately, in this in- stance, the Federal troops are com manded by a man who has been remarkably successful as an In dian fighter, and the country may rest assured that he will make the campaign an energetic and relent- less one"

JUNE 17ih was the day set by the British government to push through the coercion bill in the House of Commons. June 17th was also the anniversary of the battle of Bunker Hill. While in a rigid military sense the battle of Bunker Hill was not a British de feat, yet in its far-reaching conse- quences it was one of the greatest disasters England ever received. So we predict it will be with the coercion bill. Even though it un- doubtedly will be passed the moral effect of the measure will be dis astrous to the present govern ment at least. The associations of June 17th are not favorable to any coercive measures attempted on that day.

There arc half a dozen persons to every situation to be filled and hundreds of unfortunate people who went there with limited means are actually suffering, San Diego is an excellent place to keep away from.

THE carelessness of doctors and dentists is responsible for much misery. The following sad caseis the latest example: Mrs. Amelia Meigs, of Hartford, Conn, is dy- ing of a frightful cancer of the face. It was caused by poisoning from arsenic introduced into the cavity of a decayed tooth to kill the nerve. The plug above the arsenic was carelessly put in and fell out, bringing it in contact with the tissues. Mrs. Meigs IS a young and beautiful woman and her fate is a matter of general commisera- ton.

When the appetite fails, and sleep grows restless and unrefreshing, there IS trouble ahead. The digestive organs, when healthy crave food, the nervous system, when vigor- ous and tranquil, give its pOssessor no un- easlness at night. A tonic. to be effective, should not be mere appetizer. nor are the nerves to be strengthened and scothed by the nnaded action of q sedative or q narcotic. What is required is medicine which inyig- orates the stomach, and promotes assimila- tion of food by the system, by which means the nervoIs system, as well as other parts of the physical organism, are strengthened. These are the effects of Hostetter's Stomach Bltters, medicine whose reputation is foun- ded firmly in public confidence, and which physicians commend for its tonic, anti-bil- iOus and other properties. It is used with the best results in fever and ague. rheuma- tsm, kidney and uterine weakness, and other mala1ies.
